Chapter 8 The Butcher's Shop

The female neighbor still didn't know what Qiao Xia was hinting at, and stared at the scratched wound on Qiao Yang's face with a smile, as if she understood something in her heart: "Old Qiao, I have medicine at home, I'll get it for you, this wound will leave a scar if it is not well cared for, you wait", the female neighbor ignored three steps and made two steps to put aside Qiao Yang's obstruction, and returned to her home by herself.

Qiao Yang was fascinated by her affectionate call of 'Old Joe', and sure enough, his nature would not be hidden in front of Qiao Xia for a long time, and his true form would be revealed. Qiao Yang controlled her expression for a moment, turned her head to look at Qiao Xia, her face was still cold, and she couldn't shed any expression for people to interpret, her eyes stared directly at the female neighbor who had just gone out, and said flatly with fearless eyes: "Butcher shop."

Qiao Yang choked on Qiao Xia's strange anonymity, and almost forgot that the female neighbor's original name seemed to be Chen Lili, so what should she call when she comes back, should she be polite, the opposite of the title of 'Old Joe' is called 'Xiao Chen', well, this does not have his previous gentlemanly style, let's wait for her to come back.

Qiao Yang asked Qiao Xia to go back to the room first, and Chen Lili came immediately, holding a white bottle with white medicinal powder, dancing in front of Qiao Yang, and said in an enthusiastic tone: "Come on, come on, I'll give you a dressing."

Saying that, he took Qiao Yang's hand and sat down, and before Qiao Yang could speak, the enthusiastic Chen Lili first asked: "Oh, old Qiao, it's not easy to raise a child by yourself, you must find someone to take care of you when you are single", and then dipped some white medicine powder on a cotton swab and carefully applied it to the wound on Qiao Yang's face.

Chen Lili's technique is well controlled, and the cotton swab does not hurt on the wound, in order to make the powder spread evenly, she also specially got her hands on it, picked up her index finger and patted it carefully at the wound, and then blew it with her hand after the powder was evenly sprinkled.

After the whole set of action flow, Qiao Yang unconsciously pushed back, surprised: "You know it, I am indeed single now." Chen Lili smiled, tore off the mouth sticker and carefully pasted one on Qiao Yang's face, Qiao Yang didn't know how funny he was after putting on the bandage, in short, Chen Lili was still laughing with her hands covering her mouth after reading it.

From Qiao Yang to deduce that this Chen Lili may also be a saint in the love field, and the level is definitely not below him, without reminding Qiao Yang of Qiao Xia's nickname for her 'butcher shop', it won't really be like in the novel, if there is really a fiancé who comes to hook up with him.

Qiao Yang kept a heart in his eyes and asked frankly: "Miss Chen said this, is she worried that I can't take care of myself and want to take care of my mother, so I'm not afraid that the one in your family will be angry." When the words came out, Qiao Yang was like taking it back, this frivolous tone, when he saw the woman, he couldn't change it.

Chen Lili blushed and slapped him the shoulder, lowered her head and turned her face to the side, the original generosity was mixed with the shyness of a girl who was just starting to fall in love: "What are you thinking, who is the 'one' in my family, don't wronged me, I'm still single."

Qiao Yang was a little weak by her, and laughed awkwardly. Qiao Yang looked at Chen Lili and even behaved the shyness of a girl just right, every move and every move of her was startled by men's male hormones, this is definitely a profound skill, Qiao Yang is willing to bow down.

But although this woman is untouchable, Qiao Yang still found the same point in her, which can be regarded as a unified line. She flirts with the man, I flirt with the sister, and the well water of each other does not interfere with the river water. Well! That's how we live in peace.

Qiao Yang showed his signature smile, smiled a little stiffly, and nodded slightly: "Really?" I really can't see that Miss Chen is so beautiful and single, those men are blind."

Chen Lili still lowered her head slightly, put her hands on her knees with nowhere to put them, and smiled, as nervous and cramped as she was: "How can there be, I think Lao Qiao is you, my daughter is so old and still thinking about her ex-wife, it's really rare, if only I could find someone like you."

After Qiao Yang listened to Chen Lili's words, the sweat in his head had already gathered together, slid to the place where his chin was, he swallowed his saliva, kept his place unfazed, and the two looked at each other and smiled, just like two workplace veterans, greeting each other without poking each other, waiting for the other party to be the first to take the mask.

Qiao Yang laughed a few times, modestly prevaricating that he was actually not that good. The two chatted and chatted for several hours, but both sides couldn't hold on and could only end hastily. Before leaving, Chen Lili saw that Qiao Yang was about to close the door, and blocked the door frame with one foot, Qiao Yang failed to close the door, Chen Lili smiled and said: "Old Qiao, seeing that your daughter is so smart, I also want to give birth to one like this."

Qiao Yang smiled awkwardly: "Why didn't you still think about getting married before, and now you are thinking about having children, you are not thinking too much about it a little faster."

Chen Lili waved her hand, took her foot back and patiently explained: "Oh, it's not because your daughter calls me 'butcher shop', I will give birth to someone as cute as your daughter in the future, and also call me 'butcher shop', I have to read the book written by Qian Zhong carefully to see where the 'butcher shop' is."

Saying that, Chen Lili opened the door next to her with a smile, waved her hand and said to Qiao Yang: Good night and go in. Qiao Yang woke up from Chen Lili's words after a while, that is not good, if she knew the true background of this nickname, maybe she would never want to come again.

If you want to talk about work, Qiao An used to say that as long as Qiao Yang's wound recovers, he will be introduced to work, which Qiao Yang is not satisfied with, to say that he used to be a drama actor who fished for three days and dried nets for two days, adhering to the style of one person to eat and the whole family is not hungry, but now he has one more person to raise.

Whether it is a matter of resigning to fate or dreaming, which belongs to the young man's choice, I didn't expect it to be the turn of this fast runner to think, Xiao Xu in the stage planning accompanied him to squat on the ground and eat, holding a toothpick and saying: "Brother, you want me to say that you still follow your brother, your brother is better than you, and following him is better than following the old man."

'That old man' Qiao Yang knew that he was the head of the performance department of the theater, and when the minister was still a drama director, he appreciated Qiao Yang for the first time, saying that he must have attainments in this area, but it has been a few years, and Qiao Yang's attainments can't even be seen as big as a fart, and they have been buried.

Qiao Yang took two bites of rice and said vaguely: "Which is Lao Tzu following him, Lao Tzu can break out of the world single-handedly", but now he can only squat and eat some boxed lunches.

"Cut, don't say it, in the past two days when you were sick, our hospital has recruited a group of young backbones, how to recruit him is what you said when you were selected to be a young man."

Qiao Yang ate two mouthfuls of rice that happened to be swallowed in his throat and couldn't swallow it, Lao Xu added: "Qiao Yang, this era is really different, that old man is not your wife can't pay attention to you, as a friend, I have seen a lot of thinking like you, so change careers as soon as possible."

Qiao Yang didn't dare to say anything anymore when he heard it, and finished the boxed lunch, there was a drama to guide and analyze in the afternoon, and he needed to be present, but it was just a scene, and his predecessors of more than 20 years gave newcomers nothing more than encouragement like working hard.

He looked at these young faces boringly, as if he was looking at himself at the time, he was also so wanton and arrogant, he worked hard to learn to act in school, worked hard to learn to observe, he had the ability to play the leading role, and suddenly the sentence that this was a young man suddenly ran out of his mind, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Approaching halftime, according to the habit, he will buy some food or lie in a room where no one sleeps, he lives a waste of materials, and his work is also a waste of materials, even if he is in the work he likes, he will be slack off if the status is not good, so he will be slack, so he will be slacked off for a few years.

But today, during the break on the first day, a short girl with black-framed eyes ran up to him: "Senior", who spoke weakly, as if she was sick. Qiao Yang glanced at her, and muttered in her heart: It's strange that before she arrived at the bar, why did a girl come to talk to her.

"Is there something wrong"? He asked, the old problem is committed again, and he has been looking at the girl for more than a minute, since he has Qiao Xia in the family, he always looks at girls of the same age as Qiao Xia as the standard, this girl is an absolute introvert type, and even a little timid, who can hear it when she speaks so thinly.

On the contrary, although Qiao Xia's voice is not loud, but there is a feeling of correct and round words in his ears, even he wants to pull Qiao Xia to try it at their theater, and he has to practice more, and his line skills are absolutely good, but this girl... How did the dean recruit him, not to mention the tension of the acting skills, this line alone is a headache.

"Teacher, I want to learn acting from you, I graduated from film school", the girl was hesitant, Qiao Yang muttered in his heart This girl was automatically pasted, because of Qiao Yang's innate vigilance, he thought about it counter-investigation: This girl has never seen him acting, is it because she likes him or what.

Qiao Yang is not acceptable to all girls, to say that this little girl is really not his dish, "graduated from film school, what's your name".

"Huang Shiyun", the girl replied weakly, Qiao Yang nodded: "Okay, come on in the future, I have a call to my daughter in advance."

Saying that, he shook the mobile phone in his hand as an excuse, put aside Huang Shixuan, and went out to buy something to eat as breathable, he would buy himself two boiled chicken feet as usual, the braised craftsmanship just looked at the color of the chicken feet red and translucent, he carried the plastic bag of two chicken feet and went back slowly, passing by the corridor that must be passed, and happened to bump into the minister who had not been seen for a long time, and a young man.

They had a smile on their faces, and the minister patted the young man on the shoulder from time to time, and Lao Xu said that there was a young man who had the same talent as he did back then, so think it was him.

Qiao Yang pretended to be heartless to meet the two of them, and he first greeted the minister casually as usual: "Hi, old man", this title is only Qiao Yang dares to do this to the minister.

He pretended to be happy to look at him, and the other party responded casually, his mind was all on the young man, and the rest was only the former's low mood.

After finishing his work, he asked Lao Xu to drink, these days of recuperation made the money in Qiao Yang's pocket only come in and out, and there was no balance for him to spend this month, so he found a place where no one sat on the mossy steps, two bottles of beer per person and a cool breeze, even if he didn't speak, he knew the other party's thoughts.

The two of them really drank all the wine without speaking, and before they were separated, Lao Xu looked at Qiao Yang's back and couldn't help but comfort: "What are you worried about, your daughter is so old, let her give you a pension in a few years, what are you worried about, you are better than us old bachelors."

Qiao Yang listened to Lao Xu's words and moved faster, and he didn't know if this daughter could really give him a bell for his old age.
